Another Horror in a Chicago Bakery.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 29.-At two forty
o'clock this morning fire was discovered
in the bakery of Chris. Heffen, at 3l6 N.
Archer avenue, a three story and base
ment brick tenement. For a time fire
smOldered and nothing serious was
thought of 1t. Shortly after three O'Clock
it was discovered that number
OF people living in the build
ing were either dead or dying
from the effects of smoke and flames
The firemen and police hurried into
the building and soon began taking out
unconscious bodies until IL people had
been removed. Ii was then found that
Maria Trugo, aged 2 years, was dead.
The list OF injured people is as follows:
Nelson TrugO, Nelson TrugO, jr., aged
II years; Bella Trugo, aged years;
Eliza TrugO, aged Ia years; Jos. Trugo,
aged 10 years; Mr.. and Mrs. Bonner,
Phil. Bonner, aged years, unknown
girl. Mrs. TrugO and Mrs. Bonner and
three others will die. The fire started
In the bake shop, and was caused by
pot OF boiling lard being upset. Heffen
and his family occupied the second
story, but they all escaped In safety.
The TrugO family resided on the floor
above In the rear, while Boomers
lived on the top floor. The four surviy-
Ing Trugo children were badly suffo-
Gated and their recovery is doubtful.
Nelson Trugo attempted to lower his
wife and two-year-old baby out OF the
seoond-story window, but the rope was
short and the woman and child hung
suspended in midair surrounded by
flames. Capt. COwan, Of truck FL, see
ing their perilous position, rushed up
the ladder and attempted to rescue
them, but sudden outburst
of smoke enveloped them and
the captain, woman and child fell In
the flames below. Willing hands drag
ged them ont and the chptain was found
to be terribly burned about the face,
hands and feet. He also inhaled large
quantity of hot air and is thought to be
fatally injured. The mother was
so badly burned that she succumbed to
her injuries few minutes later. A
young girl named Annie Drew, aged Is,
who boarded with the TrugO family, was
carried down stairs by firemen. she is
badly injured, but will recover.

Very womanIv Incident.

saw a very womanly bit in horse car one day not long ago. Two ladies, both we'll bred women of the world looking creatures, entered at the same time from opposite sides of the street. They sat down and paid their fares in the lofty way usual with women of their kind. Then one seemed to start, and her eyes fastened upon a big bunch of daisies the other had. Once or twice she turned away, but senti- ment got the better of her, and she spoke out in the most childish way; ''0h, tell me, are the daisies out in the countrys''
 The other smiled cOolly and said, 'Oh, yesr'
 Then the first woman turned away and her eyes filled brimming full. Then the tears ran over, and she had to wipe them away. By this time I was interested to see how it was coming out No. ap- parently did not see it, but looked out of the window and at the daisies with perfect unconcern. Then she signaled the con ductor to stop the car. As she got up she quickly divided the bunch; laid them be- side the other. "We both love them. Let us share them" she said, and got out of the car. Now, wasn't that pretty, and wasn't it rarey Indeed it was.-New York Graphic

A Sign of Insanity.

An Irishman over the age of fonrscore and ten, who by strict economy had &C., cumulsted modest fortune, and was about to die. called in the parish priest and the family lawyer to make his last will and testament. The wife, grasp ing covetous old party. WAS also in the room. The preliminsries of the will having been concluded, 1t became neces- sary to inquire about the debts owing to the estate. Among these were several of importance of which the old lady hsd been Tn ignorance, but was nevertheless pleased to find that so much ready money would be forthcoming after the funeral.

IF all reports he true and we nave many resason for believing them so' the Mexican custom house officials at No- Roles sadly need reforming. The comand- ante IS arbitrary, insulting and over oficious with all travellers across the line, be they Mexicsns or Americans. Among the attaches to his office there IS said to be but one, and his name We cannot recall, that is in the lesstwIse gentlemanly and accommodating to the public entering Sonora by way of the Noeales custom house. Nearly all their dealings are characterized by 8 vicious abuse of the little brief authority invest ed to their keeping.

An oId Tim. Hole Borer.

t'I began drilling holes in the ground" said Mir Delany, driller of gas wells. in answer to an inquiring reporter, ''in loGO, and have been at il ever since-that's twenty-seven years-except three years l was in the army. The drills then were lighter than we use now, and they have been greatly improved since, though there has been little improvement in tools in the last five years. We frequently struck gas in those days in good quan- titles, but we didn't want it then; we were boring for oil. It takes four men 10 operate well, and the machinery is eX pensive. The men work day and night two day and two night, changing at l2 o'clock at noon. One of the two men attends 10 the engine and boiler and dresses the tools, and the other attends to the well and the drill. The tools re- quire constant sharpening. It is a mis- take to suppose that any men can do this sort of work. Men of experience are re- quired; common labor cannot do it. The largest oil well I ever bored, believe, yielded 5000 barrels every twenty-four hours. That was the property of the Forest oil company, and was located in Warren county, Pa. do not know what it yields now, probably very little. had plenty of work during the oil excitement in Pennsylvania, and that was probably the widest excitement ever seen, going far ahead of the gold excitement in Cali
 fornia. We do not need to go near so deep to strike gas as to get oil. Every well in Indiana where gas has been struck stopped at less depth than a thousand feet. It IS largely a matter of guess work, or luck. We can tell nothing from the outside, because there are no surface indications m-Indianapolis Journal.

4 MILITARY post is 70 be established st or near Globe. to the universal satIs- faction of the people of Southsrn Arizo- ns. How or why this due has been so long withheld is known only to the Ys- vspsi Indian ring of which the Prescott Courier seems to be the willing mouth piece. But the establishment of 6 new post means the abandonment of an old one, and the doom of Fort Whipple has already been sealed, and it IS generally understood that before grass is again green on the Ysvspsi hills, an order for its abandonment will be issued. This post ss well as that on .the Verde, has outliyed it's day of usefulness sud must go the way that all worthless frontier posts have gone. The disposition to concentrate troops in the immediate vi- cinity of the reservation whereOn the Apaches are qusrtered, is 6 wise one and meets with general appreciation from sll but those who have a moneyed interest ID the bloody forsys of the savage. The measure is just one and but for the Indian ring with headquarters ct Pres colt, and such paper Indian fighting generals as General Crook, would doubtless have been adopted long ago and hundreds of valuable lives and tens of thousands of dollars of property saved But in the eyes of thCse worthIes these things were accounted nothing so long as the one had to be fed with army con tracts. and the pride of the other pam pered with newspaper puffs. To thi
 class. the removal ofWhipple mesDs tinsn- oial ruin, but the blood of the people oI Southern Arizona IS as dear to us as fa'
 army contracts are to them, hence Vt
 reioIce in the adoption of a policy that
 promises protection to the lives of those
 so constantly mensced. With a post al
 Globe and one or two others south snd
 east of the reservation, the country may
 be considered sssuredly secure against
 future Indian deviltry.
